Dog Walking in Newark

“Andreia is excellent. Our dogs are always delighted to see her and she is really good with them. She is also completely reliable. Despite having injured her ankle on the morning of dog sitting for us, when she could reasonably have cancelled, she contacted us to explain and still came to complete the visit. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: I like to board animals from one household at a time, providing a luxury service that your pet/pets will appreciate and love! All dogs that had been sharing their days with us, repeat the experience and wag their tails every time they come back! We have the best reviews on Facebook too! After studying animal management and dog-feline behaviour, I worked for many years with big cats as an ecologist. Since then, I worked in different areas of animal welfare feral animals and my favourite; wildlife rehabilitation. I have many years of experience caring for various species while working in the RSPCA and as part of other NGOs around the globe. For the past few years, I have been teaching about animal welfare, animal husbandry and ecology. My expertise focuses on behaviourally challenged cats and dogs as well as caring for different species and life stages (puppy to geriatric) and specific medical conditions (administration of medication). I love meeting the owners and the animals first to break the ice and make a connection! I work from home so, I have plenty of time for socialising and playing outdoors and a lot of love, care and fuss for your babies😍. I have a huge garden where we exercise from the geriatric dogs to the most active ones. This is needed, as we do not let any dogs off the lead when we take them for long walks, for security reasons.

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! Caring for dogs isn’t just something I love—it’s now my full-time job and passion. With over 20 years of experience looking after pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities, I’m here to make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. From bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, I tailor every walk, cuddle, and overnight stay to fit your dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving extra belly rubs, or helping them burn off energy, I treat each dog as if they were my own. This isn’t a side gig for me—your pup has my full attention. My only commitments are to my dogs and yours, which means I can provide dependable, around-the-clock care with plenty of love and patience. Fully insured and always reliable, I’ll make sure your best friend feels comfortable, secure, and part of the family. Whether you need daily walks, extended stays, or just someone to brighten your pup’s day, I’m here to help. 🐾 Let’s keep those tails wagging and make life easier for both you and your dog! I’ve recently made the exciting decision to step away from part-time work so I can dedicate myself fully to caring for dogs. This is now my full-time job and passion, and my only commitments are to my own dogs and the pups I look after. Dogs have always been such an important part of my life, and I’m thrilled to give them all of my time, energy, and love. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and stick to their normal routines. I follow each pet’s feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule closely, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. Whether it’s a cozy nap spot or a game of fetch in the garden, I make sure they feel right at home. In the Owner’s Home (if applicable): When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I ensure they’re fed, exercised, and given lots of love and companionship while you're away. I also keep your home tidy and can send updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. Dog Walks (Group & Solo): I offer both group walks and one-on-one walks, depending on your dog’s needs and temperament. Group walks are perfect for friendly, social dogs who enjoy companionship and play with others, while solo walks offer focused attention for dogs who prefer a quieter stroll or need special care. Every walk is safe, structured, and full of fun, and I always ensure your dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need

About: We have a lovely home which is fully secure, we're on an estate that has lovely local walks and your furry friend will be never left alone I work from home and my wife is also at home as she does not work so plenty of opportunities for walking, feeding and toilet duties! We'll try not to over spoil your pet! We have no pets of our own. Our big cuddly boxer dog passed away in March 2023 and we're ready to bring love to your pet whilst your away.

About: What started out as pet sitting for friends and family and now starting to add clients to hopefully one day run my own pet sitting business. I have a love for all animals big and small and experience caring and handling them, from rabbits to horses you name it. I am currently working 4 days a week and looking to become my own boss and come away from this to run a doggy daycare from my own home. I have a 6-foot fence, a tidy garden, and a cosy and welcoming house for your dog to spend his day in while you are at work knowing all their needs are being met.

About: Always had dogs in my life, I'm very experienced with all breeds having worked in a doggy day care centre for 4 years. Feeding and giving medication is not a problem and an understanding of how to care for your dog. I have an enhanced DBS from 2024 and would love to spend time playing and encouraging your pet to have their best life. I'm up early so mornings are never a problem and usually finish early so am not available after 3pm. Any week day except bank holidays. Each dog is unique so caring for your pet is bespoke and listening to the owner would always be my first port of call to make sure your fur ball is a happy chappie

About: I am definitely a dog person, having had dogs for the last twenty years, The first dog of my married life came from the Dogs Trust when it was NCDL, so that shows how long I have had dogs. All of my furry friends have been a rescue of some kind so i am happy to work with the more 'challenged' doggies. Personally, I am semi-retired, and have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. The family would be lost without our furry friend. Dogs have always had the run of the houses, but can accommodate any cages if needed, younger dogs have always been caged at night to start with. A large garden, and located next to far reaching fields which is enough for even the most energetic of furry friends. Operating a twice daily feed (after walks) and love giving meaty treats to anyone that visits (Human or canine!)

About: I absolutely love dogs and welcome any breed and age into my home to make it their home whilst you are away. I have had a range of pets growing up including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a duck so I am also able for pop in visits for a wide range of pets! I currently have a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel called Mabel. She is great around other dogs since we regularly look after our friend’s and family’s dogs who range across all different breeds and sizes and she certainly loves the company as much as I do. I can adapt to whatever needs your dog requires and if your dog loves a cuddle then you’ve come to the perfect place 🥰 I promise to send regular pup-dates (if you would like them!) and to love your pooch as much as my own! And of course, plenty of walks are a given! I’m also more than happy to arrange a meet up before you go away should you wish for your pooch to meet me in advance! I work from home so I am around to give your pups plenty of attention during the day. Alternatively I can easily pop in for visits or walks on my lunch break and I am fortunate enough to work flexibly so can ensure they get as long a walk as required. Similarly I can pop in for all other types of pets too! I have a fenced back garden and live near plenty of secure walking spots but can also walk your dog in your local area if you’d prefer. I can also easily crate your dog if required. Regardless of how long I will be looking after your pet I will provide regular updates along with photos so that you can be fully assured that your pet is in great hands!

About: I used to do agility training with my older dog. I'm also used to dealing with nervous dogs, who sound aggressive. I've helped in training my dogs for commands like sit, along with teaching them to move out of way and some tricks such as paw. I'm currently studying a full time uni course, with in person lectures on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I have a lot of availability to take care of your dogs I will communicate well with the owner and follow their guidance by asking how they take care of their pet and replicate that because every pet is different. I will walk the dog on the lead, unless I am certain it will come back to me and I am in an enclosed area.

About: At the dog shelter, I would walk, feed and groom the dogs. I would also spend time with the dogs in their kennels, whilst cleaning their kennels. I’m looking for a side hustle, since at the moment it’s quite difficult finding a part-time job. So my schedule is very flexible and free. I love spending time with any animals, especially dogs, and I enjoy playing with them and trying to teach them new tricks. I’m not easily frightened by dogs and I can understand when a dog needs space, food or a walk.

About: I have experiences of a whole variety of pets. I’ve been around dogs since I was a small child and have walked and sat for: beagles, labradors, west highland terriers, Irish terriers, schitzus, spaniels, schnauzers, sheep dogs, and the list goes on! I have two cats of my own who are beautiful (but obviously I’m biased!). They’re Siamese x ragdoll so very chatty and very needy. They can do lots of tricks including sit, spin, stand, paw, fist bump… I’ve certainly put my psychology training to good use! I’ve also had cats all my life so I’m very familiar with this, too, whether that’s indoor cats or outdoor cats! I also have lots of experience with pet rats as well as chinchillas and have regularly house sat and done check ins for these animals too :) I nearly always work from home and love the company of pets for house sitting, but also love to get out and go for walks - even better if I can do that with a dog or cat! I have experience of a whole variety of different environments and animals. I’ve worked with dogs who get on well with other dogs and also hate other dogs, and also dogs with anxiety and who are very nervous. I’ve also looked after both indoor and outdoor cats in a variety of settings so can easily adapt to you and your pets needs as you see fit :)
